World map showing Death rate attributable to AMR, all ages, 2050

Antibiotic resistance has claimed at least one million lives each year since 1990: GRAM

Landmark GRAM Project study of global AMR burden over time forecasts a sharp rise in deaths, with 39 million lives lost between now and 2050

GRAM study reveals rising antimicrobial resistance in enteric fever across 75 countries, affecting millions

Findings reveal resistance patterns for a priority pathogen--also known as typhoid fever--with high mortality and morbidity in resource-constrained settings

AMR linked to 1M deaths in Africa, according to GRAM study

Findings suggest urgent need to address burden of drug-resistant infections across continent, one of the highest levels worldwide

Antimicrobial resistance poses threat in all 35 countries in the Americas

More than 43% of infection-related deaths in the region were tied to AMR, according to GRAM Project study

World map of global burden of bacterial antimicrobial resistance, colour-coded by country, showing the percentage of isolates with resistance

Antibiotic resistance caused over 1.2M deaths in 2019

More than 1.2 million people died in 2019 as a direct result of antibiotic-resistant bacterial infections. The analysis of 204 countries and territories reveals that resistance is now a leading cause of death worldwide, above of HIV/AIDS or malaria. Many deaths now occur due to historically treatable illnesses, including pneumonia, foodborne ailments, and hospital-acquired infections.

First longitudinal estimates of global antibiotic consumption 2000 - 2018

Global antibiotic consumption rates increased by 46 percent in the last two decades, according to the first study to provide longitudinal estimates for human antibiotic consumption covering 204 countries from 2000 to 2018, published in Lancet Planetary Health

The Global Research on Antimicrobial Resistance (GRAM) Project brings together researchers from around the world to develop the evidence base for understanding one of our most pressing global health challenges, the threat of antimicrobial resistance (AMR). Find out more about us
